... = totally frickin awesome. I saw a sneak preview of it last night in an IMAX theatre (6 story tall screen) and it was amazing. I'm sure it would have more effect for those of you who actually lived under the Thatcher administration, but I was still able to enjoy it immensely.

And don't worry, it's nothing like the Matrix.

That's the problem with heroes, really. Their only purpose in life is to thwart others. They make no plans, develop no strategies. They react instead of act. Without villains, heroes would stagnate. Without heroes, villains would be running the world. Heroes have morals. Villains have work ethic.

FUCK YEAH !!!

I love that movie, can't wait till it comes out !!!

It has this ambience around it, this feeling... like half life 2, or the matrix..

I wouldnt be supised if the whachowski brothers (or whatever they're called ) wrote hl2.

The V for Vendetta film is fucking awesome. It's not so much a straight adaptation of Moore and Loyd's awesome work, but a modern retelling that really heightens the emotional impact of what was already quite an intense story.

The V you see on screen is not the same V from the comic, but once you accept that and sit back and enjoy the show, it grabs you by the balls and doesn't let go. I got very emotional while watching it, possibly the most emotional I've ever been while watching a film.

Although my overall impression was very positive, I was disapointed about one or two things. One: V is never specifically referred to as an Anarchist and all his awesome speeches about Anarchy have been remoived. Two: The song "The Vicious Caberet" was not in it, as far as I could tell.

Oh, and if anyone is worried; Natalie Portman really is rather good in it. (is is Hugo Weaving)
